My University Journey Continues...

So recently I have had some good news! I have a place at the University of Leeds for in September. Yay! The course I will be attending is Graphic Communication and I'm really looking forwards to it.

I originally applied for Architecture through UCAS, but I totally had a change of heart because I think it'd limit my creativity and wouldn't be something I would enjoy as much as I enjoy graphics. I had to withdraw from all the universities I originally applied for to apply to Leeds so it was a bit of a risk, but it's paid off!

Leeds is a great city (especially for shopping) and it's not too far from home so I'll be able to visit my family if I want to. It couldn't be more perfect.

Has anyone been to university? Are you at university? I'm looking for any words of advice!

Passion for Pattern

A few weeks ago I posted about how I'd been taking photographs of farm animals (you can read about it here). I'm still beavering on with my project where I've been creating patterns featuring the animals. I thought I'd share what I've made so far...

 

I have been inspired by 60s patterns and designers such as Orla Kiely and Angie Lewin because I love the colours and shapes that they use. I created these designs using card, pen, pencil, printing and Photoshop! It took me a while to get the patterns to repeat and to be seamless (that's always the hardest part) but now I think it's impossible to tell where the pattern starts and stops.

The first pattern features the highland cattle, and the second one shows the sheep. Which one do you prefer and why?

I love cows!

I've had a super busy month recently with it being my sister's birthday and Valentine's day and such. I've had so much bad luck recently too. For instance, my sister ended up in hospital after cutting her arm really bad on a pint glass and the car broke down on the way down to London. I am hoping that my luck is starting to change... After all I did have an interview for university last Wednesday so I am hoping that it went well! I would love to get into CSM so when I find out, I will let you know (please cross your fingers for me). Let me know if you have any good luck charms?

Yesterday I visited a farm so that I can take photographs for my graphics project at college. I'm creating a series of surface patterns and I wanted to base them on animals. I think these highland cattle would be perfect. They have such sweet faces and I love their hair it's such a wonderful rich red colour. I know a lot of people are scared of cows! It's such a shame (although I didn't touch any of them, hehe).

Did I mention that there were sheep too? They just wouldn't stop staring at the camera. Obviously very vain. Do you like farm animals? You can view all my photos here.

I'm looking for my blog friends! Please comment below. ♥

Thank you.
